We know Kishi is supervising the Boruto Manga, but do you even bother to consider it canon because someone else wrote it? Unlike The Last and Boruto the Movie, Kishi is not writing it at all so the story is all up to the new guy (whose name I still don't even know). So will you eventually see it as canon? Probably because one of your favs do something you like?

Im only waiting for the story to start because I want to see Sarada's and Boruto's development, if its garbage then Im out

It's not, so it doesn't really matter what your opinion of it is.

It's not up to the fans as to what's canon, only kishi's opinion is relevant in this case. There's really no point in denying it's canon even if it's crap.

So it's only canon if Kishi writes it? There are alot of Star Wars stories that are considered canon now even though GL has nothing to do with them.

It is considered by Kishimoto to be the continuation of the series, so it is officially "canon", regardless of if it turns out bad.

The first line ends it. Yes. Kishi is involved, therefore it's canon. He didn't write The Last and Boruto, but had a group of writers work on it and he supervised. Same thing here. The same thing was done with Toriyama with Dragon Ball Super the anime and Dragon Ball Chou the manga. He gave full control to the animation studio and the manga author, but chimes in with ideas from time to time or gets more heavily involved, like he did for the Trunks saga.

It's not canon. Manga works differently than comics.

You might as well consider GT canon too since Toriyama was "supervising" even did the character designs, way more than what Kishi is doing with Boruto. He will tell you it's canon so that you can pour money into it, but the second he decides to return with Naruto (if he does) he's gonna write over it like it never existed to begin with.

Actually he wrote the script for both movies(with some help obviously). For better or worse, one of the co writers for the boruto movie is the new writer.

Retcon, eh? That's not new to the series. I can see kishi crawling back to naruto if his new manga flops.

I remember reading an interview where he stated he had other writers, like he did Naruto The Last, and he went back to make changes. That counts as writing. He's going to get credit regardless as a writer for anything Naruto related, because he's the original author, see all the Naruto novels for examples, which list him as an author.

this.
it's clearly canon, but no one is forced to read it.

of course he'll tell it's canon for money, but if he were averse to it, kishimoto would say otherwise. Independent of his reasons to make a sequel: money, he doesn't care, hsi editors forced, or he really think the new mangaka will make a good job, it's canon.

unless one day he act like akira and say "oh the new mangaka wrote shit, i don't like it, it's not canon blablabla". But for now it's the official sequel of Naruto, unfortunately.

I reread some stuff so he was the chief script supervisor and he did the character designs, for the boruto movie however. That was written by him mostly. Unfortunately, it's not "canon" anymore since the boruto manga is recapping it.
Kishi only did illustrations for the novel. It was never expand on upon if kishi supervised those.

Its canonicity is one of my least concerns (but wasn't it stated to be an "official" continuation?) about it. I'll just see how it goes.

It's canon. You being in denial and saying it's not canon isn't going to make it so. For christ's sake,kishi is the ****ing editor of the manga. How can you say it isn't canon? Goodbye
